摘要

Our journal has entered into 63rd year of its publication. Its content and formal layout has changed during its development. In spite of of several societal changes in our region over the past six decades it always tried to focus on purely professional issues excluding the signs of political impacts or tendentiousness. Let us mention here that the original title of the journal was Lesnícky ?asopis (in English: Forestry Journal). In 1993 the name changed to a bilingual title Lesnícky ?asopis - Forestry Journal. In 2016 the editorial board of the journal suggested to change the title to Central European Forestry Journal. This change has taken place since the first issue of the current year. As the title indicates, the journal has an ambition to present not only the works of the authors from the former Czechoslovakia, but also from other European countries, mainly from the region of Central Europe. Although the political, geographical, or cultural definition of the Central European region is inconsistent, the editorial board of the journal expressed an idea that the magazine should serve as a publishing platform (apart for the Czech Republic and Slovakia) especially for Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. This should not be taken as a strict definition of contributors, as the journal remains open also to other European countries.
